I'm interested but wondering what a fair price would be. He bought it new but has been sitting for a year with very limited miles prior. He's asking $2500. I do not want to low ball him but not go overboard either. Thanks, Mike Tacoma, WA

laharview, I am sure some of the veterans here can answer you better, but for reference...

...over two years ago I got a 2008 (4 years old at that time) with 400 miles on it that was resting in a barn for ~$2200...and it included saddle bags, front bag, and windshield . Cleaned off the wasps nests and caked on dirt, changed all fluids and it literally looked and ran like it just came off the showroom floor.

If some of the folks here can advise you better on the market price and you get the bike, you'll love it. And this forum is an excellent place for help and will save you tons of $$$ and headaches trying to deal with the dealership on anything you need...It's all right here!

Good luck!

Is it done? How does it run? I don't mean for 2minutes, I mean,will it act right after 30minutes? I think you can do better on price and not be stabbing him. Does it come with a maintenance manual? Any spare parts?

Here in Vancouver, used prices are ridiculously high. I paid $2900 for '08 recently, most want $32-3500. here's wash.state http://bellingham.craigslist.org/mcy/4566194194.html

It's only 1,452 miles so the chain tensioner should be fine. I assume you read it at 14,520 miles

Where are you at? When I picked up my '01 it had 18XX miles. I paid $1600 in 2011. It was clean, it ran well, and came with kuryakyn grips, a windshield, and a sissy bar.

The guy said he posted it for more a couple times and got no bites. I'd say show him the KBB and offer him 2K. With only 1400 miles you basically have a new bike, but you'll need petcock, probably tires if they are over 4-5 years old, and some of the basic mods.
